I am having a job interview tomorrow at a Blockbusters.

Also, if you have any advice for the interview at Blockbusters, let me know please.

So you are interviewing at more than one? First tip for a job interview: English comprehension.

I'm not one to be mean, but come on dude, use Google or IMDB next time

All I see is Redbox scattered everywhere. If Blockbuster has any business sense they would buy Redbox out while they still can.

A buck a movie right at local convenient grocery store and 7/11.

Yeah, but Red Box usually only carries recent releases, which is why I stick with Netflix.

Blockbuster is no where close to being in the black, but they're gaining a little market share. Still, I'd say not to invest in them.

I worked at a blockbuster years ago. Honestly I don't think they will really care about what movies you've seen. You wouldn't even believe the amount of people I had worked with there who had not even seen The Godfather (even store managers).

When I interviewed they did ask me what the last movie i saw was and to describe the plot in a sentence or two, but that was just to test how well you can communicate with others. If they ask you about any movies it will only be to see how well you can answer questions (because you'll get a lot of those).

You get the job then in a few months its out of business. It happened to a Circuit city near me (never worked at circuit city). A brand new circuit city opened up and in a year it went bye bye.

I don't know what to think.


You are obviously a few steps ahead of an average BB employee because you are actually trying to think about how to perform well in an interview in advance. This shows initiative and thoughtfulness...

....yet you ask a question on these forums that a very basic Google search could answer in less than a minute.

*HEAD ASPLODES*

I don't know what to say, as almost all Blockbuster have disappeared from my hometown!

That said, I do commend you for trying to get the extra level. Do look for films that have won Oscars, Golden Globe, Sundance, Cannes awards. Check RottenTomatoes for the highest aggravated ratings.

And last word, are you sure that you want to work at Blockbuster!?

could this be a weird bot advertising for B- Buster(s), if so this could be better than Henry Grik (motions sign of cross)
